Course summary

This programme focusses on the skills needed to be a successful social scientist: independent study, formulating and presenting arguments, evaluating literature and interpreting data, and also provides an opportunity to sample a number of different social science subjects so you can broaden your perspective and find where your passion lies. This is a transition programme which aims to consolidate your skills and knowledge from further education study, but build on those to smooth your transition to a University environment.
